His two-run single down the right-field line capped a three-run second inning and gave the Pirates a 3-1 lead. 

Pittsburgh’s Bryan Reynolds had the third four-hit game of his career. 

Trevor Williams was hit hard in his return to Pittsburgh, where he spent the first five seasons of his career before being released in November.
